Full description
Just off Piazza Colonna in the heart of Rome, Galleria Alberto Sordi occupies a grand early-1900s arcade with a soaring glass-and-iron dome and ornate stained-glass details, now home to a mix of mainstream fashion chains and lifestyle shops.

Galleria Alberto Sordi...... Great place to take a break after Fontana di Trevi. We had lunch at the Antica Foccaceria S Francesco and enjoyed very much the food there. Highly recommended
